Since 2014, Enexus has been the swift integrated EPC that enables renewable energy investors to rapidly grow their capital through bankable, connection-ready projects. With over 600 MW built and connected to the network, Enexus provides services ranging from renewable energy, investment opportunity assessments to turnkey design and construction, as well as operation and maintenance of photovoltaic projects—maximizing returns through specialized teams and high-performance management. Today, Enexus has projects in Romania, Turkey, Italy, and Ukraine. Starting 2025, the company aims to expand into new emerging markets and gradually become a global leader in renewable energy. Business Review talked to Mesut Güler, CEO Enexus, to find out more about the activity in Romania.
How would you define the position and evolution of Enexus on the Romanian energy market?
Enexus has evolved from a newcomer to a reliable local player in just a few years. We entered the Romanian market in 2020 and officially launched the company in 2021. Our approach is different – Enexus is the swift integrated EPC that enables renewable investors to grow their capital faster through bankable, connected projects.
This model allows us to scale mid-size utility projects fast, with fewer risks and full value delivery. We’re not the biggest, but we are among the most agile.
Our clients range from present partners seeking to expand their PV projects and diversify their energy profile, to new industrial off-takers aiming at becoming energy independent, and long-term yield-focused private investors. They all value trust, clarity, and personal relationships and that perceive us as trustworthy because we deliver impeccable execution.
Today, Enexus operates over 250 MW in Romania, and our EPC division accounts for 90% of our business. In 2024 we reported a turnover of approximately 23 million EUR, representing a 10x year-on-year increase. And our goal is to be the partner of choice for investors seeking reliable execution and bankable results.
In a fast-evolving energy market where execution speed and investor confidence make the difference between growth and stagnation, Enexus has quickly established itself as the go-to partner for renewable energy investments in Romania and the broader Black Sea region.
How has your professional and entrepreneurial background influenced Enexus’s business model?
My background is in construction, and I’ve worked closely with international investors since 2013, when Turkey opened up its renewable market. I learned early that investors need one thing: confidence that the project will be done – and done right.
That’s why Enexus is a true one-stop-shop. What sets us apart is our investor-focused mindset and the ability to take full ownership of delivery. We don’t just sell a piece of the process. We deliver the whole project: land, permits, design, execution, connection, and maintenance. This hands-on, end-to-end model reflects my experience and what I’ve seen missing in other companies. That’s our DNA.
Whether working with entrepreneurial capital or industrial investors, we adapt to their strategy while providing the same high standard of execution. That consistency builds long-term trust.
What are the most important milestones for 2025?
In 2025, our priority is to maintain our sustainable growth trajectory. We aim to go from 250 MW to over 600 MW in installed or contracted capacity. But growth for us isn’t just about size — it’s about quality and precision.
There is momentum in Romania and neighbours’ energy markets today, and potential is so much greater than one EPC can handle; so Enexus is open for business with interested and compatible partners in order to build together and hence deliver on our 600 MW target in 2005.
In 2025 we will also be entering new markets in the Black Sea region, developing a wider network of trusted supply partners, diversify our investor portfolio and strengthening our internal team.
What are the current challenges in terms of regulation and access to investment capital?
Renewable energy is a complex space — from a regulatory and financial perspective. There are various funding instruments, but there’s still a mismatch between when developers need capital and when financial institutions can disburse it.
That’s where we step in: Enexus supports clients throughout the financing journey. We offer tailored financial modeling, connect them with institutional and private funding, and structure viable, bankable projects. The new CfD scheme recently announced in Romania opens important doors for long-term price stability and will attract more investors into new capacities. It’s a good signal for the market.
Enexus has the capability of turning complexity into momentum because our major strength is local industry flair – knowing the ropes, the way outsiders can’t and that is how we can help our investors navigate the legislation and local contexts and rest them assure that their project is in the right hands.
How do you see the regional potential of Romania and its role in the Black Sea energy ecosystem?
Romania is at a strategic energy crossroads. We’re close to Ukraine, which is preparing for large-scale reconstruction, and we are part of a region with high energy demand and increasing EU support. Our country has competitive solar LCOE, a growing investor ecosystem, and EU funds that can be better absorbed.
Today, the Black Sea region is underserved – so, Enexus aims to be a technical and execution partner for scaling renewable capacity in this area.
This region will need credible, agile players who can deliver fast. And that’s our edge — we grow not through volume, but through precision. Mid-size projects, delivered fast and well, have the power to stabilize grids, reduce dependency, and unlock local potential.
We see ourselves as a trusted gateway for renewable energy investors looking to enter Romania and the Black Sea region — offering fast-track execution, local insight, and commitment to long-term asset performance. And our promise is simple yet compelling: “Trust is our North Star. Speed is our differentiator. Investor success is our mission.”
